The cast of Glitch: The True Story of the Post Office Scandal

A POWERFUL play exploring the devastation wreaked by the Post Office scandal is heading to the region. Hull Truck Theatre is set to host Glitch - The True Story of the Post Office Scandal during its tour of the UK next year.

Written by Zannah Kearns and directed by Gareth Taylor, the new play centres on Pam Stubbs, the sub-postmistress of Barkham who was wrongly accused of stealing tens of thousands of pounds. She had been sub-postmistress of Barkham Post Office for more than two decades. But she found herself dragged into the biggest miscarriage of justice in English legal history when unexplained discrepancies start appearing in her accounts.
